Pickleball has exploded in popularity, becoming America’s fastest-growing sport. But anyone who’s played knows the frustration of losing track of the score mid-rally or struggling to remember serve rotations. Zero Zero Two! eliminates these pain points with intelligent design and cutting-edge technology.
The Problem with Traditional Scorekeeping
Traditional pickleball scorekeeping is surprisingly complex. Players must track not just points, but serve order, server number, and proper positioning—all while maintaining focus on the game. Paper scorecards get lost or damaged, and manual tracking often leads to disputes and interruptions.
We’ve all been there: mid-game, someone asks “What’s the score?” and suddenly everyone has a different answer. These moments break the rhythm and take away from the pure joy of playing.
A Solution Born from Real Experience
Zero Zero Two! was built by pickleball players, for pickleball players. Every feature stems from real court experience and actual pain points we’ve encountered. The app supports both singles and doubles play with official USA Pickleball scoring rules, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
Apple Watch Integration: Game-Changing Technology
The standout feature is seamless Apple Watch integration. Players can control scoring directly from their wrist without touching their phone. This hands-free approach maintains game flow while ensuring accurate tracking.
The watch app automatically syncs with your iPhone in real-time, so coaches, spectators, or teammates can follow along on the larger screen while you control everything from your wrist. It’s the kind of technology that feels magical until it becomes indispensable.
